The Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, is to be specially built, with
a capacity of 30 000. It will host four first-round matches.
Construction of the new Mbombela Stadium on open land just 8km north of Nelspruit
will confirm the recently rising fortunes of this far north-eastern corner
of South Africa.
Local communities have been denied such a facility for far too long and this
stadium will correct the anomaly.
Again, the 2010 Fifa World Cup will have provided the crucial impetus in the
creation of a world class facility that will significantly improve the quality
of life for millions of South Africans.
The Mbombela Stadium has been designed to ensure it enjoys a prosperous life
beyond the tournament as an adaptable, relevant multi-sport, entertainment
and exhibition venue.
An elevated site has been chosen for the rounded, rectangular shaped structure,
incorporating ideal sight lines from every seat and a substantial administrative
area on the western side.
The stadium will be specifically constructed to ensure that it meets all Fifa
requirements and presents a compact and attractive venue for both first and
second round matches.
Visiting teams and supporters may well be impressed by their safari drives
in the nearby Kruger Park but, for explosive noise and thrilling atmosphere,
even the Big Five would be stretched to outdo the Fifa World Cup spectacle
at Mbombela Stadium.
